In a recent enlightening conversation, Mr. BN Girish, Vice President of Hotel Ocean Pearl, eloquently explored the profound insights of Krishna Consciousness. The offering of valuable intuitions by him by taking out time from the demanding professional schedules were inspiring and at the very same time very much thought provoking as well.
Krishna consciousness is the ancient philosophy that continues to vibrate the essence today’s world. The architectural wisdom of Dwaraka is much modern than today’s most modern day architecture. The city was adorned with parks and gardens in full blossom and resounded with the warbling of birds and the humming of bees. It was rendered noisy with the loud cackling cries of swans and cranes residing in ponds spread over with full-blown lotuses and lilies of various colours. The city was studded with nine lakhs of mansions built of crystal and silver, inland and under the sea, with shining emeralds and furnished with articles of gold and precious stones. It looked charming with its well-defined roads and other thoroughfares, quadrangles and market-places, animal shelters, temples, and guild halls. Its roads, courtyards, lanes, and thresholds of houses had exhibited all architectural skills.
Mr. Girish began with his eloquent narratives about how a city should be designed taking insights from the architectural abundance from Dwaraka and slowly went on by emphasizing the relevance of the Bhagavad Gita, a timeless scripture that guides individuals on how to live a complete and purposeful life. He went into highlights of the Gita’s 18 chapters.
He has Given lot of focus on to the first chapter, suggesting most of the life’s problems are originating from a lack of complete knowledge. The solution, according to Mr. Girish, lies in acquiring knowledge. One has to sit in solitude to understand one’s own actions. Such contemplations should get compared with the wisdom demonstrated by Lord Krishna who was as simple as the most humble human beings in today’s world.
Mr. Girish quickly then shifted the narrative to the early life of Lord Krishna, who faced adversity from the moment of his birth. He painted a vivid picture of Krishna’s upbringing, illustrating the challenges he encountered, including a separation from his birth mother. Surpassing through all these hardships, Krishna ultimately provides divine guidance that are timely and appropriate to millions of us through the teachings of the Gita. He could relate it with every religious insights sighting all these teachings are leading human beings towards truthful sustenance.
An intriguing aspect of Krishna’s life, as shared by Mr. Girish, was the construction of underwater palaces in Dwaraka to protect people from demons. He urged listeners to explore the historical city, emphasizing the architectural prowess displayed by Krishna over 5000 years ago.
Mr. Girish passionately detailed Krishna’s multifaceted roles: a king who chose service over rulership, a friend who saved Draupadi in her dire moment, and a compassionate figure who fed the hungry with a single grain of rice. His storytelling brought forth Krishna’s qualities as a great doctor, lover, friend, warrior, and teacher.
The relevance of Krishna consciousness today, Mr. Girish asserted, lies in embracing its principles to alleviate worries and enhance personal power. He cautioned against viewing Krishna as a transactional deity and encouraged a deeper understanding of the spiritual activities.
Drawing parallels with other religious teachings, Mr. Girish stressed the importance of understanding the essence of faith rather than seeking material gains. He highlighted the need for a balance between wealth accumulation and adherence to moral values, echoing the teachings of Jesus and Krishna. Mr. BN Girish’s insightful discourse on Krishna Consciousness takes us through the timeless wisdom as we were walking on the city of Dwaraka witnessing all of them. His articulation captivates you into contemplation, encourages introspection within to get into a renewed self-appreciation over the profound teachings that had transcended time and cultural boundaries.
